It prevents the awful Skyrim crash to desktop (CTD) when you have a bunch of mods installed.

Safety Load – This literally saved my game. Immersive HUD – This lets you turn off all the HUD elements (map, crosshairs, etc.) so you can get a clean screenshot without game icons cluttering the screen These are mods that I highly recommend if you want to take high quality screenshots and also make your life easier. It is a base file required for most animation mods. :Dįores New Idles in Skyrim (FNIS) – This allows your characters to strike different poses and use new animations. Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) – Don’t ask what it does, just accept that you need this and install it.

These are mods you must install in order for the other mods to work! And these are the mods that I can’t live without when it comes to taking great screenshots in Skyrim – all the images in this post are unfiltered with no post-processing: I got a gaming computer for two reasons – 1) to mod the hell out of my games and 2) to take some high quality screen caps! I use FRAPS to take screenshots and capture video from my games – you can read about FRAPS and download it in my post here.
